Synopsis
Set in an unnamed Caribbean seaport, Garcia Marquez's extraordinary Love in the Time of Cholera (1988) relates one of literature's most remarkable stories of unrequited love. 'This shining and heartbreaking novel,' Thomas Pynchon wrote in The New York Times Book Review, is one of those few rare works 'that can even return our worn souls to us.'
Mary Wesley on Garcia Marquez's Love in the Time of Cholera:
'This is the funniest, most moving book I have read and re-read. Each reading discovers fresh delights, a true classic. Garcia Marquez is the greatest South American writer who doesn't hesitate to write of the spiritual and mundane in the same paragraph.
